Commencement

All students graduating in the calendar year are invited to join the one annual celebration event in May of that year -- Commencement. Graduation is the completion of studies resulting in a diploma, and commencement is our acknowledgement of this academic achievement. Students wear a rental attire set, with a keeper cap and tassel.

Tickets are not required for the commencement ceremonies, nor for Commencement Mass, and there are no guest limits. Other celebration events for special groups are generally by-invite only and may limit the number of guests.
